Wicking need help asap

I thought maybe you had made the same mistake i did at first haha.When people first started talking about rayon,i kept seeing it referred to as cellucotton,so i went and bought that same bag that came up in your link,because it said cellucotton,i hadn't noticed the cotton part when i bought it haha.

I bought the big box (because that's all they had) of the rayon at Sally's. Felt downright awkward for this 60+ year old man to walk into a beauty supply shop.

I haven't tried the rayon yet, but I will soon. If anyone wants to try it, I noticed you can get a foot of it for .18 cents at EC Blend. Now that's a bargain! I'll probably get a foot of it to try soon.

Haha,tell me about it.I'm 42,with a beard,long hair,and tattoo's.The looks i got while walking through that store were priceless,i truly believe a few people,including the cashier,probably thought i was getting ready to rob them haha.
On my 2nd trip to get the right stuff,i wanted the 500' box,but they were out,so i went for the giant 3 pound box,now i know i will never have to step foot in that store again haha.

I had read about rayon being the wicking of choice so went to try to find some. We live in a small town so I went to all the hairdressers intown to try to find this rayon. I found some but I only got a couple feet but that was enough to convert me instantly after the first couple vapes. Went to go visit our son, researched they had a Sallys, drove 6 hours and soon as we got onto town my first stop was straight to Sallys for rayon amongst the ridicule from my wife, kids and they got the cashier involved and laughing at me also but I didn't care, I had 500 feet of vape nirvana inhand.

I'd agree with everyone recommending the rayon, I've given up on JC in favor of it, it tastes better to me. However switching to rayon won't make you wick any better.
When I'm wicking I'll take what I hope is the right amount and then gauge it by squeezing it between 3 or 4 fingers just to see how thick it will end up once compressed. Do that a few times and you'll get better and better at guessing what is the right amount to start with. When dry rayon is more slippery than JC and after compression will spring back up as opposed to holding any of its compressed shape. I don't stretch it and don't do Scottish rolls, I just take a piece about the right length and separate/thin it as necessary, give it a roll or two between my fingers and then start rolling the one end to get it through the coil as normal. I've seen various recommendations on different ways to wick with rayon including cutting much of it back on either side of the coil leaving only small wicks to the juice. Some suggest putting in very tight through the coil but I just avoid it being loose otherwise it dosen't seem to matter that much as to whether it is just snug or tight. I pretty much wick the same way as I did with JC and it seems to work fine. The only exception to this is in my Theorems where I thinned the tails considerably so the is more room for the juice in the tank instead of mainly rayon tails.
